Biological Basis of Behavior Faculty Seminar/Practicum

特拉华河谷教师交流项目是一个由高校组成的区域合作项目，旨在通过将本科教学机构的教师整合到一个包含几所优秀大学、全国最大的科研园区、众多医学院、教学医院和制药公司的地区，来打破他们经常感到的孤立感。目前正在为35名科学教员举办一个区域教员研讨会，试图在研究教员和他们在本科院校任教的同事之间建立一套持久的关系。行为的生物学基础的创造；动机与感知学院研讨会是第一步，其中增加了8名教师的暑期实习内容。预计自然科学的教师研讨会将提供一种区域性的方法，使教师与他们的同事联系起来，丰富教师对特拉华山谷及其学科外围正在进行的各种研究的理解，并鼓励本科科学教学的变化。宾夕法尼亚大学和相关的各个学院将提供额外的资金。

The Delaware Valley Faculty Exchange is a regional collaborative of colleges and universities designed to break down the isolation too often felt by faculty at undergraduate teaching institutions by integrating them into a regions that contains several outstanding universities, the largest scientific research park in the country, numerous medical schools, teaching hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. A regional faculty seminar for 35 science faculty is being introduced in an attempt to build a set of enduring relationships between research faculty and their colleagues who teach at undergraduate institutions. The creation of a Biological Basis of Behavior; Motivation and Perception Faculty Seminar, with an added summer practicum component for eight of the faculty is a first step. It is expected that the faculty seminar for the natural sciences will provide a regional means of linking teaching faculty with their colleagues, enrich the understanding of teaching faculty of the kinds of research that is going on in the Delaware Valley and at the periphery of their discipline and encourage change in the undergraduate teaching of science. Additional funding is being provided by the University of Pennsylvania and by the individual colleges involved.
